Bad showers. On a dry day this course would score higher, pro shop better than the club house. Good if your in the area, nothing that set's it apart though

Poor Staff

We had previously booked a 3 ball for this. There was a spare slot for the 4 ball (30 mins before) for £26. Upon visiting the pro shop we were hoping to acquire the final for the same rate. The staff cancelled the final position on Golf Now and then proceeded to charge us £45 for the privilege of playing on the same slot as us. This we thought was really terrible customer service. Can something be done?

Top class conditions

Whenever play this course its always in top class condition. Greens are immaculate and such a tough test for the average golfer.
Rough pretty thick which adds another test.
Brilliant course and hidden gem.

A Gem in the hills

Be prepared for a pleasant surprise, I would like to thank the lady in the shop for her insight in to the layout and tips
I played in good sunny dry weather which made it easier , I can imagine in wet or very windy conditions it would play a lot tougher
Layout of the course is great , varying left and right holes and a fair few blind ones
The views over the countryside from the 8th tee are great , take a butty and a brew and enjoy for ten minutes if there’s a gap behind you
The only downside if you can call it one was the lack of paths from some
Of the tees to the short cut fairway , you have to push your trolley through thick grass , again if it was wet not very enjoyable
But apart from that I will go back 100%

Outstanding course

Course very enjoyable and in great condition

Excellent variety of holes and all the greens were fantastic

The course was very busy and we spent a lot of time standing around and waiting but this should not detract from what was a very good experience

Mid April

Played here the other weekend, your in for a treat.
The putting green was in fantastic condition (little tip the course greens are as good)
Overall course condition all considering the rain that week were very good, little wet spot here and there can't argue at all. The greens them selves were still a little soft but........ My god they were quick, little gentle breaks get plenty of practice on the putting green.
Can only imagine as the weather gets better so does the course so go and enjoy around

Remarkably perfect

Amazing layout from one of the best course designers who ever lived. Very challenging and makes you think about every shot. No complaints at all. I’ve only played it 3 times in the last 4 years and each time it has been in immaculate condition

They could charge so much more for the quality of it. So well worth it.

Superb!

Compact course

Whilst the quality of the fairways and greens was good. The compact/overlapping layout makes it feel claustrophobic/hectic. It was a busy day, and pay slow

Practice facilities equally compact

Poor value due to temporary greens.

We played on a beautiful sunny day although there had been a light frost at first light. We were surprised and disappointed to find that we were required to play 14 holes on temporary greens which were badly cut. Some of those greens were under treatment, others should have been brought into play.
When I expressed my disappointment to the professional he just shrugged his shoulders and advised it had been frost early on. We teed off in short sleeves at 0954.
Pace of play was ok until we teed off on the blind 16th to find that a pair had cut in front of us.
Not a great experience and we would certainly have expected a discount or voucher.
